hello, i'm still alive, maybe not kicking. i'm drained! i'm not sure if that was a satisfying exclamation or one that sounds whiny. anyway, two nights ago we had an a13 gathering, which felt very fuzzy. we went to mini malgudi where we had our very own swarmi, raju. so, can you find middle east in joo chiat? haha! we made a din like any healthy bunch of teenagers would and successfully annoyed the couple who paid $5/hour more to share some intimate and private moments just at the corner beside us. not surprisingly, they relocated. bummer, i must say.

right, but last night, i had to give 4H dinner a miss cos of tuition. sometimes i resent my schedule for being this packed. but i'm learning very much how to cope with the downside of life this way simply because nothing waits. haha how universally and awfully truthful this sounds. i've got quite a load on my mind recently and i can't wait to relieve myself of them. the applications, which would be done after i'm well rested and happy today, and everything that's gonna follow after that. it's still pretty much of a pain in the a to consider my options now cos of so much uncertainty. the endless stream of questions seem to ensue, and i don't derive answers. this is why i don't like flopping my exams. something i've been painfully figuring how to let my tutees know, but it seems impossible. everything is fluffy and nice when you're in primary school and mistakes you make, can be redeemed as easily as erasing pencil marks on your papers.

so, on monday we had a birthday party for the feb-march babies in the conference room. imagine feasting on beehoon, hotdogs, chips, sweets and overly sweetened orange drink and playing games with a bunch of working adults in the meeting room where all the profs have meetings. it felt kind of lawless esp when you see women clad in working clothes and heels hopping around to compete in friendly relays and cheering on one another like we're having orientation. so, came the last section where there was a little math involved(like multiples of 7) which was owned by the youngest and least rusty brain (aka mine) hahaha and i won some little prizes(sanrio collectibles) for all the games i participated in. See, being young is an asset- you run and think faster supposedly. and to see the fun and zesty side of people.

ah, my contract has unassumingly been extended, so i can't have my date with charm on monday anymore. I'm not exactly complaining, though it's pretty draining to be entrusted to the same, mindless task for monthss. boss told me "i wish i could switch jobs with you". hahaha but i guess not when your salary gets slashed exponentially.

there's a clash in events next friday and i'm feeling slightly pained because of that. sorry to you, even if you say it's okay. I don't really think it's okay. i shall try to figure a way out.
